Just to clarify things: we do not currently have any repository for SLES so the repository you are trying to use is clearly not for OSCAR-6.x. However, i think we should be ready to package oscar-6.x for new Linux distributions, include SLES but for that, i would like to release oscar-6.0.2 first.
So i guess i have few questions for Marion: 1/ is SLES a requirement for you or can you use another Linux distribution? 2/ what is your time line? Can you wait a little bit so we can find the time to package oscar-6.0.2 for SLES and make it available so you can give it a try?

You can also hard code them in, but it is more correct to let the server do it. On Mon, Mar 2, 2009 at 9:02 AM, Marion Randall < ranmar...@gmail.com > wrote: Hi! I am a chemist, but I need to set up a cluster. I am rather clueless about OSCAR and Linux (which is quite a bad combination to be ignorant of in this case!), but I have a desire to learn, so please be patient with my foolish questions... :-) I am confused by the concept of "repo's" and " rpm's ". I know I should configure YUM according to my network, and I do that from the distro DVD's ? Then I also need to add: [oscar] name= OSCAR for SLES $releasever - $basearch baseurl= http://oscar.gforge.inria.fr/yum/dists/sles$releasever/$basearch/ http://oscar.gforge.inria.fr/yum/dists/sles$releasever/noarch/ enabled=1 [oscar-source] name=OSCAR for SLES $releasever - Source baseurl= http://oscar.gforge.inria.fr/yum/dists/sles$releasever/source/SRPMS/ enabled=0 in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ : file, am I right? To give you an indication of how clueless I am: where it says "$releasever " in the above, do I type that in just like that, or do I replace it with say "10" and "$basearch" with "x86_64"? I also need to copy all the rpm's from my OS installation DVD, hm? Is there something more I need to do with repo's? Must I also add what is mentioned in the InstallGuide Chapter 3.3.1 to the /etc/yum.conf.d directory (for my specific distro)? What is the baseurl for SLES if I have to? I will be using SLES 10. Someone said that I needed to download the repo-common and repo-distro for my specific distribution. So will it be okay if I download oscar-repo-common-rpms-5.1rc1.tar.gz and oscar-repo-suse-10.2-x86_64-5.1rc1.tar.gz from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9368&package_id=9438&release_id=608805 ? In Chapter 2.4 of the InstallGuide it mentions SELinux, but it seems SuSe doesn't have that. Do I need to do something with AppArmor? Thanks! Rion -- "O wretched man that I am!
